Values of Saint John of God
HospitalityHospitality is a welcoming openness to all, to the familiar and the mystery of
self, people, ideas, experience, nature and to God.
CompassionCompassion is feeling with another in their discomfort or suffering, striving to
understand the other’s experience with a willingness to reach out in
solidarity.
RespectRespect is the attitude which treasures the unique dignity of every person
and recognises the sacredness of all creation.
JusticeJustice is a balanced and fair relationship with self, our neighbour, all of
creation and with God.
ExcellenceExcellence is giving the optimum standard of care and service within the
scope of available resources.
Brother Benignus Callan
Brother Benignus Callan (1903-1990) entered the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of
God in November 1922. He was elected Provincial of the Order in 1946 and in this role
he encouraged the Irish Brothers to undertake pioneering work in the United States and
Australia. As General Councillor from 1953 to 1965 he assisted the government of the
Order world-wide. He was a deeply religious man with a sense of humour, tremendous
patience and kindness. He had a quiet tenacity and perseverance when it came to getting
things done and Callan Institute was founded in 1994 in memory of his spirit.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Welcome to Callan Institute Annual Report 2012-2013
Callan Institute provides training and consultation in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and Raising Understanding and
Awareness about Oneself, Friendships, Relationships and Sexuality (RUA)within Saint John of God Community Services Ltd.
As you will see from the report it has been a busy year. New developments in training saw additional modules, e learning,
provision of training to parents and expansion of mentoring support within the organisation.
An outstanding highlight is the ‘Emerging Voices Initiative’ which presented awards for five unique projects piloting sustainable
and strategic activities in Multi-Element Behaviour Support.
For the coming year the primary goal will be to start implementing the 2012 Callan Strategic Review. This will see Callan
Institute move from Community Services to Hospitaller Ministries and significantly, increased integration of PBS and RUA
under the umbrella of Callan Institute. With this new approach we will aim to respond to the needs of the organisation
differently and to increase partnership within our Services on specific projects. We hope this will benefit Saint John of God
Service Users and staff in relation to in learning, good
practice and quality of life. We look forward to these new
directions in 2013.
On behalf of all in Callan Institute, I would like to thank our
sister service Saint John of God Carmona Services for their
ongoing administrative support in 2012.
